Cornell junior midfielder David Key beat his man one-on-one outside and no one slid to cover him as he drove to the net--this while the Big Red was a man down. Key converted an easy score from point-blank range with 13:24 to go in the quarter.

After the Big Red won the face-off, sophomore midfielder Galen Beers got a step on his defender and beat Cynar with a bounce shot from the wing from about 10 yards out with 12:41 to go in the quarter.

Again Cornell won the face-off, and this time junior attackman Andrew Schardt went inside on his man one-on-one and scored on an open shot from about five yards with 11:30 to go in the third. Again, no Crimson defender slid over to help out against Schardt's penetration.

Finally, senior attackman Sean Steinwald scored inside with 10:07 left in the third on an extra-man situation set up when captain Jeff Psaki was called for a holding penalty.

To go along with this glut of offense, the Big Red shut down the Crimson offense entirely in the third quarter. Harvard could manage only three shots in the third, which jarred with Cornell's 13 shots in the period.

The Big Red defense was dominant all game. Apart from holding the Crimson to mostly outside shots--the only inside shots Harvard attempted consistently were one-timers--Cornell completely shut down the Crimson's man-up unit. Harvard was unable to convert on any of its six extra-man opportunities.

Cynar played quite well despite giving up 12 goals if one considers the type of shots he had to defend.

Most of the Cornell goals came from point-blank range and despite the barrage of close shots that the tired Harvard defenders allowed, Cynar was able to save quite a few of them, tallying a total of 25 saves on the day.
